Return to Boston, MA: My Vegan To Do List

Prior to my return to Boston in February, I engaged in my normal vegan research: googling “new vegan boston”, updating my facebook status with vacation countdowns, trying to make sense of reviews on Yelp, and inquiring with the best on a PPK thread. A huge list of maybes was formed, with less than 4 days to make it happen…

These were the must-gos (and eats):

Grasshopper of course! My bad memories of this place are quite behind me.

Frolicking in snow – there was some snow on the ground, but not enough to keep the smile on my face.

What actually happened?

I spent a few days in Boston just last May, so I didn’t have to jam it all in. My primary reasons for going were snow, friends, and spending a few days of my much-needed vacation in a major city I was familiar with. I attended Emerson College in Boston in the early 2000s (and I’m admitting it, Maria)! I’ve lived in historic buildings downtown, a beautiful old house in Davis Square, a craphole in Mission Hill and an ever bigger craphole in East Cambridge between Central and Kendall Squares. It’s the city I discovered my veganism, went to my first vegetarian restaurant (then Buddha’s Delight, originally upstairs) and started almost becoming an adult. And then I ran away to Portland, of course.
